Startups: How do you handle an employee that's proving to be a poor culture fit?
KA

Kurt Attard, Youtube Expert answered:

Your Team will have a direct impact on whether or not you will succeed as a business.

I know exactly how hard it can be, especially when peoples lives are in your hands. Even more so if you outsource, outsourcing might seem cheap by our standards but that money goes a long way overseas, so usually one employee is paying for their entire family back home in their village.

But you as a boss have a responsibility to all your staff, each one of them relies on you and a poor employee that lets the team down, is letting the company down and putting every at risk.

Selecting your team is one of the most important parts of any startup

You have not only invested your money, but your time and your life. If someone has getting in the way of that, and you have given them every opportunity to improve. You cant feel bad, you need to remove them and rehire. When you have the right person you will know. A motivated and hardworking employee will work for the business and not for their pay check.
